Welcome to this searchable database celebrating the numerous tors of Dartmoor National Park, the well known that are shown on Ordnance Survey maps and those that are little known, merely remarked upon in the literature yet still not shown on maps. Then there are those that are the hidden tors, obscured on the slopes of East Dartmoor buried beneath a canopy of trees near to Lustleigh, Hennock, Manaton and Moretonhampstead. Currently, with 750 locations listed, we believe this is the most definitive collection available of both lesser and well known tors and rocks and has involved at least a decade of exploration.
